  2. Saponification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

    Saponification is a process of cleaving esters into carboxylate salts and alcohols by the action of aqueous alkali.Typically aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions are used. [1] [2] It is an important type of alkaline hydrolysis.

  3. Sodium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydroxide

    The only hydrates with stable melting points are NaOH·H 2 O (65.10 °C) and NaOH·3.5H 2 O (15.38 °C). The other hydrates, except the metastable ones NaOH·3H 2 O and NaOH·4H 2 O (β) can be crystallized from solutions of the proper composition, as listed above. However, solutions of NaOH can be easily supercooled by many degrees, which ...

  4. Hydrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolysis

    Hydrolysis of sucrose yields glucose and fructose. Invertase is a sucrase used industrially for the hydrolysis of sucrose to so-called invert sugar . Lactase is essential for digestive hydrolysis of lactose in milk; many adult humans do not produce lactase and cannot digest the lactose in milk.

  5. Reduction of nitro compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_of_nitro_compounds

    Treatment of aromatic nitro compounds with metal hydrides gives good yields of azo compounds. For example, one could use: Lithium aluminium hydride [20] Zinc metal with sodium hydroxide. [19] (Excess zinc will reduce the azo group to a hydrazino compound.)

  6. Sodium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_sulfate

    2 NaOH(aq) + H 2 SO 4 (aq) → Na 2 SO 4 (aq) + 2 H 2 O(l) ΔH = -112.5 kJ (highly exothermic) In the laboratory it can also be synthesized from the reaction between sodium bicarbonate and magnesium sulfate, by precipitating magnesium carbonate. 2 NaHCO 3 + MgSO 4 → Na 2 SO 4 + MgCO 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O

  7. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    Alcohol oxidation is a collection of oxidation reactions in organic chemistry that convert alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters.The reaction mainly applies to primary and secondary alcohols.

  8. Thermometric titration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometric_titration

    Weakly dissociated acids yield sharp thermometric endpoints when titrated with a strong base. For instance, bicarbonate can be unequivocally determined in the company of carbonate by titrating with hydroxyl (Δ 0 H r =-40.9 kJ/mol). Fig. 10. Titration of a mixture of nitric, acetic and phosphoric acid with 2 mol/L NaOH

  9. Chemical equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equation

    A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.The reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities are on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that points towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.
